Blueberry Almond Muffin Cake

I love blueberry muffins. It’s healthy since it has blueberries in it right? We can pretend 🙂 This is like a giant muffin that comes with extra goodies! You can serve this as a breakfast treat or a dessert! The cake is light fluffy, and you will get fresh blueberries in every bite!

​This is just like a delicious moist blueberry muffin, except this is a cake with a hint of almonds! The glaze gives this cake an extra cakeyyy texture with a crunchy sugar almond topping.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter; salted (2 sticks)

2 cups sugar

3 large eggs

1 Tbsp almond extract

2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/4 cup whole milk

Zest from 1 lemon

Juice from 1 lemon

1 lb of fresh blueberries

Frosted Glaze:

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

3 Tbsp milk

1/2 tsp almond extract|

Cake Topping:

1/4-1/2 cup sliced almonds

2 Tbsp sugar|

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until combined.

Slowly add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixute. Mix until everything is incorporated...Slowly add in the milk and beat mixture until it is smooth. Fold in the lemon zest, juice, and 1/2 of the blueberries.

Pour the batter into a greasted bundt pan. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top (they will sink and make it look pretty, once cake is baked). Bake for 60-80 minutes or until top of cake is golden brown. You can also insert a toothpick to check to see if it is completely baked. Once cake is baked, wait 20-30 minutes before flipping over and transferring to a cooling rack.

In the meantime while you are waiting for your cake to cool, you can make this simple light glaze. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract. Whisk together until it is smooth and there are NO lumps. Once the cake is cooled, drizzle all of the glaze with a spoon. Immediately after, sprinkle cake with almonds and sugar. Enjoy!
